The State Duma has adopted the amendments to the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation in the first reading; thanks to these amendments, the participants in administrative cases will be able not to attend proceedings.

      Video conferencing will be used at the proceedings on administrative cases. The judge will permit to consider an administrative case remotely at the request of the participant in the process or at judge’s own initiative. The judge will permit to use video conferencing, if the participant cannot attend the meeting in person.

      A similar procedure for remote participation in legal proceedings is already provided for in the Arbitration Procedure Code, Code of Civil Procedure, the Code of Administrative Court Procedure and, in part, in the Criminal Procedure Code of the RF.
